Manual Driver Install

Hi,
Please help as this is a major issue for me,
I need to manually install drivers for X-fi (various versions) on Windows 7 x64 but they dont work, i can extract the install package and point it to the driver, it starts to install but then says ' cannot find specified file' and teh audio device will not install.
If i run the driver installer it works, but i cannot do this as i need to deploy the driver from a WDS server which needs to have the raw driver files,
I think the files that are missing when extracted are
\Win2K_XP\amd64\ha0kx2k.sys?? *
\Win2K_XP\amd64\haP6v2k.sys?? *
\Win2K_XP\amd64\haP7v2k.sys?? *
\Win2K_XP\ctstatic.dat????? *
\Win2K_XP\ctdaught.dat???? *
I added these files from another installation and the device installed ( though unsigned), it asked me to reboot but on doing so the device 'code 0 ' failed to start.
I assume i need the files from above but the correct version for Windows 7 x64 , does anyone have then or have any experience with this issue.
i have tried this on several machines , DELL 380's 390's , T3400 & T3500 fresh installs with X-fi Xtreme music?or gamer , same result - this method works fine for all other drivers and even the creative drivers in XP worked fine,
so far Creative support have not come back with anything helpful but this is very urgent now as i need it working it is teh final issues before i can deploy Windows 7 to about 700 pc's with x-fi cards.......
Thanks Guys

I have a 15" MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (Early 2008) running OSX Lion 10.7.5. I want to erase the Hard Drive, install Mountain Lion, and manually restore select applications and files. Is there a known procedure to do this? Any tips or feedback?

1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, close the installer and open Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion.
2. Press Option key while your Mac is starting, select the external drive and open Disk Utility.
3. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
4. Close the window and install Mountain Lion

Failure to boot after new hard drive install

trying to resurrect old graphite 466mh firewire clamshell.
It was running tiger fine, had a problem charging it so sat in basement for a year. Turns out it was powercord,replaced, and now working again. Decided to replace the 10G hard drive, using the fixit site manual. Installed a Toshiba 80G drive, am now unable to boot from tiger cd's (not dvd) while holding down c-key. Any suggestions? By the way, have access to other firewire iBook running tiger but don't know how to boot from that. Any help much appreciated!

The reason for not being able to start
via 'C' on you new drive may be because it is
assigned (jumpered) incorrectly as the 'Slave' rather
than the 'Master'.
Of course! it seems so obvious now
you've said it.
Actually it's almost
certainly best that this gets done sooner rather than
later or it is complicate any future trouble
shooting
kind regards
mrtotes
OK gentlemen (thanks for responding). So I hook up the 2 iBooks, put the tiger cd in my wife's iBook and start them up. On the screen of the ibook I'm trying to resurrect my wife's desktop appears. I go into disk utility, it scans the systems and the only icons that appear are my wife's hard drive and the new (untitled) hard drive. No sign of the tiger installation cd. I can restore my wife's hard disk onto the untitled drive and end up with a working system. I know little about slaves and masters (I don't get out much)- how do I assign the new drive?
thanks again,

Pavillion dv6000: "Device driver" install failure for DVD/CD drive

The laptop does not install the DVD/CD drive anymore. Message says the driver for this device failed to install. It is not assigned a drive letter in Win Explorer. Device Manager shows the drive as recognized, but has the yellow triangle/exclamation point...Properties says driver is missing or corrupt. Needless to say, I know of no "driver" for a CD drive (in modern machines, at least), and nothing related shows up in the driver list on HP webstie for this laptop. I did reinstall the chipset drivers as well as some other driver updates; no change. Re-seating the drive didn't help.
I also replaced the original drive with another, and got the same result...driver install failure.
Any solutions?
Thanks

Yes you need to remove upper and lower filters from the registry. Microsoft has a KnowledgeBase article about it with an autofix, but I have had better luck manually editing the registry:

T43 video driver instal fails

I've tryed to get the driver for my T43 laptop from this page:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-61503
My machine type is 1871-A32 and in this page it says:
- *2 Machine Types 18xx of ThinkPad T43 family are not supported. Please get the correct package for them. A link is provided below.
But when I look the drivers for the 18xx models I don't fine any.
Anyway I've downloaded this driver, but when I try to install it, the installer tellsme that I need to install Net Framework 2.0, but my thinkpad already has it (indeed it has Net Framework 1.1, 2.0 Service Pack 2, 3.0 Service Pack 2 and 3.5 SP1). After try to install the Net Framework 2 it ask me to restart, but when I start again the installer, it ask me again to install the framework.
Checking the contents of the driver installation folder (C:\DRIVERS\WIN\DISPLAY) I notice a folder NET32 which has the Net Framework installer (dotnetfx.exe). I try to install it manually and I get the error "Setup cannot continue because this version of the .NET Framework is incompatible with a previously installed one." and that's because my framework version is SP2, but the installer fails to detect it and stops all the installation process.
I want yor help to get a link to download the correct driver and/or get this driver installed.
Thanks in advance.

I did find this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-116965-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Is that the one?
While not specific in what I have found in the past, but if HP issues an update, then it is usually means that is designed for that particular equipment and is different from the NVidia driver found on the NVidia site. From the pictures of the card, it would appear to be a true NVidia card but that model also has an i7 processor. The two together may give way to the update.

Driver install problems on X

Hi my name is Mikael and I?m about to go nuts.... AARHG!
Seriously this has been the toughest hardware to install ever, and I?ve been into PC hardware modding etc for 0 years! not that I?m an expert because of that but....
to the problem....
Doing a normal install with the included install CD gets me to the "driver install" part in the setup, at 84% completed, the computer stalls... reboot takes me back to the start with partial stuff from the install still in the system but not uninstallable as there is no SB X-Fi line in Add/Remove program.
Uninstalled the drivers with the application in the support directory on the install cd... rebooted and installed only the driver with the same app, and some minutes into the install the computer stalls again...
Manually installing the drivers via add/remove hardware gives me a lovely Bluescreen.
Installing in Safe mode works until I boot back to normal mode... either I can't even get into windows before I get a bluescreen or I sometimes get in and no hardware drivers have been installed says the Device manager, and wants to install the device again... resulting in one of the above scenarios...
Tried using IRQ 5 and on two different PCI slots, disabling a hardware sharing the same IRQ once, didn?t make a difference... Disabeling Onboard Sound card AC97 in MB-Bios gets me the message when booting to windows "the soundcard/hardware that uses this software can't be found....."
Sorry for the long post, but I hope I gave a understandable explanation to my problem so someone can help me as I would be very glad if someone did! ;o)
Cheers!

Airport Extreme will not show USB drive installed Solved!

Airport Extreme will not show USB drive installed Solved... At least for me!
Here's what I had to do to make it work with the newest 7.3.1 firmware.
Ready for this? No Joke Really!
1. Connect your USB drive to the Airport Extreme.
2. Turn it on.
3. Open the Airport Utility.
4. Go to Manual Setup.
5. Choose Disks and File Sharing.
Yep, we are going to set file sharing before we even see the disk we want to share!
You (I) had to set File Sharing on and Share Disks over Ethernet checked as well as set the Work Group (In my case). THEN restart the Airport Extreme.
After it re-started... My USB Drive was now present and ready for use.
I also dis-allowed Guest access. I re-started ALL computers in my network, both Windows and MAC. The USB drive held and works GREAT!
I know... Most of you thought this was a joke, It's not!
I tried everything to get the USB drive to work and failed every time just like most other people. Doing it this way worked like a charm.
Go Figure huh!
Hope this helps someone with this issue.

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

How to restore music on computer after new hard drive installed?

had new hard drive installed and am not able to retrieve/find music that was backed up on my computer before new hard drive was installed. Only music that was in the "cloud" was able to be retrieved. Any idea where it could be?
Thanks!

Did you reinstalled iTunes ? It looks like you had a newer version of iTunes with the corresponding database, and now your iTunes seem to be an older version. If you are a little patient, you might easily fix this with iTunes 10.5 which should come out very very soon since iOS 5 has been annonced for tomorrow.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Hi, I never use TM, but...
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

Can't imaging something not being covered there.

After an automatic update, Firefox will start but immediately terminate. How can I fix this problem? I am sick and tired of manually un-installing Firefox!!

Since Firefox version 12, after Firefox automatically applies an update, Firefox will launch and immediately terminate.
The only solution is to manually un-install Firefox, completely clean the registry of Firefox entries, and manually re-install a previous version of Fiirefox that will work -- I use version 4.0. And then manually update that version to the current version.
I DO NOT install the new automatic update option -- that is, the automatic maintenance option.
BUT never the less, EVERY TIME I check for the latest version of Firefox using HELP --> About
Firefox, the UPDATE is AUTOMATICALLY RUN and FIREFOX WILL NOT WORK AGAIN.
I have put with this none sense for 18 versions of Firefox - MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!
Thanks, David Breed

You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Can you bring up the Profile Manager to create a new profile (possibly when starting in Safe Mode by holding down Shift)?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Is it possible to get a 1TB hard drive installed into my Macbook Pro Retina?

I am a photographer and I have a lot of photos and its hard to store them all. I have a back up drive I currently have my iPhoto library on, but it crashes a lot.
Can I get an internal drive installed? How much does this cost?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The MacBook Pro with Retina display can only use flash storage because a hard disk doesn't fit onto this computer. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is to store the photos onto an external disk, if they doesn't fit onto your flash storage.
If your external disk is slow, you may want to buy a Thunderbolt external disk. It's much faster than a USB external disk and you shouldn't notice any problem anymore with it
